The Printer Mechanism for the Stylus CX1500/ME100 is newly designed. But, the
basic component of the Printer Mechanism is almost the same as the previous printer
(Stylus C41/C42/C43/C44/C45/C46).
This printer consists of Print Head, Carriage Mechanism, Paper Loading Mechanism,
Paper Feeding Mechanism, Ink System.
Like the previous printers (Stylus C41/C42/C43/C44/C45/C46), the Stylus CX1500/
ME100 is equipped with two stepping motors; one for the Paper Loading/Feeding
Mechanism and the Pump Mechanism with the CR Lock Mechanism, and one for the
CR Mechanism. The ASF Unit for the Paper Loading Mechanism uses rear entry front
eject system. And, single LD Roller in Holder Shaft Unit loads a paper to the Printer
Mechanism.
